Been Gone Awhile

I really haven't posted anything to my blog in a very long time.  Life has been interesting since that last time though and I've been thinking more and more lately that maybe I should resurrect my site for if nothing else, my own outlet and a way to get my ideas documented.  At the very least I will be posting my YouTube videos here and if I'm really feeling ambitious then I will be doing more write ups, tutorials, and my general opinions.  So be looking out for that and enjoy.

Record or Stream Desktop & Games (Ubuntu 13.04)

In my adventure to get desktop recording and live streaming working under Linux I have come across some great resources and information around the interwebs. This is an attempt to compile and present what I think is the best and easiest methods of doing these tasks at the time of this post. The instructions I give are specifically for Ubuntu but could work if you know how to follow these steps in your distro.

Xbox 360 (slim) or PS3 (slim)?

PlayStation 3 (left) or the Xbox 360 (right) Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3? Like a lot of folks this year, money became really tight around the Christmas holidays.  I sold my Xbox 360 then my PlayStation 3 to ensure that I got through the holidays with arms and legs intact.  Now that the holidays are over and income tax refunds are right around the corner, I'm looking to replace one of them soon.  The dilemma is I have personally owned both systems and still can't decide which system I want to waste countless hours on.  Here are some of my personal thoughts.

[Tutorial] Install Genesis Emulator To 64 Bit Ubuntu (13.04)

Image
After searching for awhile I quickly found that there isn't very many 64 bit emulators for Linux and even less specifically for the Sega Genesis. The problem isn't that I need 64 bit to satisfy my PC superiority complex but that in Linux, the 32 bit versions don't seem to work on the 64 bit distributions.  I did manage to find one though by the name of dGen. Problem with dGen is that it's command line only. Who in the world makes a program that displays graphics based on the command line? In any case I found a frontend GUI that works great even though it's very dated. Below are the step by steps and a video to hopefully help you out. Keep in mind that I wrote these as if you were using the Ubuntu 13.04 desktop. This will work for any Linux distribution if you change the steps to fit your desktop situation. There's a video tutorial with the same material that's covered in this write up.  It's all the way at the bottom of this page if you prefer the vid...
